Well, in the past few weeks we have gotten our kids off to college so we are now empty-nesters.

Weather has been good so we have been starting fall field work.

One of the things I ponder is why some people who are in desperate marital situations and say they want help seem so unwilling to really grab hold of suggestions I make on how to help their marriages. Thankfully there are others who take what I suggest, adapt it to their situation and enthusiastically try new things. I guess it goes back to Jesus’ parable of the four soils. I know I wasn’t always quick enough to make changes and try new things when we were separated.
